Thank you for developing what is supposed to be an improvement on
pgAdmin3 which was often unstable.

After using pgAdmin4 on Debian testing/sid here are a few observations:

* The installation is a bit of a pain the neck without a Debian package.

* The Dashboard is impressive.

* While running a long-running query I miss the time-elapsed indicatoron pgAdmin3.  The javascript-screen with the
runningwheel does notimpress me.
 
* Usage of the query tool is frustrating:
 * When I try to open an existing sql-script with the file browser   there is now way I can type in the path.  The
fieldwhere the path   is shown is greyed out.    * Unlike pgAdmin3 it does not keep a history of "recent files" or
"recentlocations" and goes back to /.  To get to something like   '/home/js/db_docs/sql/projects/collaboration'  from
thereusing the   mouse requires too many clicks.    * When I arrive at '/home/js/db_docs/sql/projects/collaboration'
the  filenames are shortened and the only way to see what the full name   is, is to hover the mouse over it.  When you
have60 or more files   in that directory, it is frustrating.    * The order of the files in
'/home/js/db_docs/sql/projects/collaboration'cannot be   changed. Clicking on the "Modified", "Size", or "Name" column
header does not change the order. So when you cannot remember the   name of the file you worked on yesterday afternoon,
itis difficult   to see which file is the latest in the list for example.
 

It would be nice if these things can be configured and to have clear
documentation on how to do it.


Regards
Johann
